Italy uses a progressive tax system called IRPEF (Imposta sul reddito delle persone fisiche) for personal income tax.
For 2024, Italy has reduced the number of tax bands to 3 as part of broader tax reforms.
A progressive tax system spread over 3 tax bands (PIT), however employees are subject to three types of taxes: PIT (National Income Tax), Regional Income Tax and Municipal Income Tax.

Income between 0 EUR and 28,000 EUR - 23%
Income between 28,000 EUR and 50,000 EUR - 35%
Income over 50,000 EUR - 43%
Regional income taxes vary from 0.7% to 3.33%, and Municipal taxes vary from 0.1% to 0.9% - here we will use the average for comparative purposes of 2% for regional and 0.5% for municipal (2024).
Social security contributions are 9.19% of gross income and mandatory but contributions are deducted from gross income before calculating taxes.
Social security contributions are capped to a maximum income of 119,650 EUR for 2024.
Up to 25,000 EUR there is a 7% discount on the 9.19% rate (effective 2.19%)
Up to 35,000 EUR there is a 6% discount on the 9.19% rate (effective 3.19%)
Italy does not have a personal tax-free allowance, but employees can recieve tax credits based on personal circumstances - but we will not include them in this calculation for comparative purposes.
